Londyn vs. Calvin

I know you're not supposed to compare your children, but don't worry - this is just in pictures. 

Every few months I like to go back and find a picture of Londyn at Calvin's age, just because I can't get over how much they look alike.  I thought I'd post a few and see if the consensus is with me.  Or with Will, who periodically doubts that they look alike until I, once again, show him a comparison like these.

One day old:

Two glaring differences that I notice:  (well, Calvin's a boy, so three glaring differences)

The first is their respective tooth count.  Londyn at 8 months:  0.  Calvin at 8 months:  4, working on two more.

The second most obvious difference to me is their eyes.  Londyn's have been blue for her entire life.  By about 3 months they were a deep, dark, jewel-like blue.  Today they're lighter, but they're still very much blue.  Calvin eyes are . . . I have no idea what they are.  I don't know if they're still changing or what.  They are the oddest color.  I don't even know what color to call them.  The centers, right by the pupil, are light brown, then there's a big ring of grey, then a bit of green and/or blue, depending on the light and what he's wearing.  They totally change.  If they stay the way they are right now, I have no idea what color he'll put down on his driver's license.

I'll have to follow up with this periodically and see if this look-alike trend continues.  Will says they're looking less alike as the months go by, and I actually think I might agree.  I guess time will tell!

Cute pictures! I still have no idea what color Mayci's eyes are and she is almost 4. ha ha.

They do look quite a bit alike. Mainly the same nose and cheeks. Either way what a cute little muffin! Bring him over here so I can squeeze his cheeks! His big brown-looking eyes make him look so happy!

I totally see it. And I agree, definitely those cheeks and the nose. I love your kids' cheeks!!

That Calvin is a dreamboat. That is what that post is about, right?

Also, lets compare Hens' and Cal's eyes next time -- Hens has been rocking a few different rings of colors lately and its very confusing to me.
